The conference aims to bring together not only academicians, but also practitioners and policy makers from the fields of trade, economic growth, development and sustainability, health and education and many more. According to FLAME University, based in the Indian city of Pune, “the world is living in ‘strange and uncertain times’ more than before”. This uncertainty challenges everyone to settle or reposition themselves into a new position. By discussing and debating these challenges in the various fields, the conference hopes to formulate strategies to address them.
